This song is about transformation into machines and all the the changes that come in the modern era that we can't forsee. Tall skyscrapers, mega-urbanization, is the new way of life, the natural world doesn't exist anymore. The centers of human life is now around cities with big tall buildings, streets, and each new advance in technology and life shadows the natural world evermore so. Gaze on the new world utterly created by us and engineered. "Great machine" refers to the whole civilization as a singular force becoming more machine like so that eventually cities will die as there won't be a need for biology even, no way to feel real breeze caress your smile. So a lot of notions of being human will be left behind as humans involve to the machines they created.
